Functional Nutrition in Dallas

Functional nutrition is a component of Functional Medicine (FM). FM is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the interrelation of all our body’s systems. FM looks at the physiology of your body to find the root cause of your health issues and correct it.

One of the primary functions addressed by FM is nutrition and digestion. Functional Nutrition uses food as a natural medicine to restore balance to the body’s systems. By listening to what your body needs and wants, you’re able to nourish yourself with foods and a lifestyle that work for you.

What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional Nutrition (FN) focuses on the individual, not the illness. It takes into consideration not just the food you eat, but also how active you are, your environment and lifestyle elements. Symptoms are the clues used to diagnose your health problems.

Once the root cause of your issue is discovered, a plan to restore function to your body’s physiology will be put together. There is no one-size-fits-all approach in FN. Your unique needs are addressed to stimulate healing from a cellular level.

How Can You Help Me?

Functional Nutrition believes food has the power to heal or harm and because it is information for our cells. Your body is made up of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbs, water, oxygen and energy; it makes sense that we can make an impact through nutrition.

Gabrielle sees ‘you’ and your specific needs. By doing an in-depth assessment including lab testing, and factors such as genetics, reviewing medications, diet and lifestyle, she can get a complete picture of what’s going on and how to help empower you to make change.

Restoring Balance and Function

Your body is super regenerative and able to heal, but we have to understand what it needs. Functional Nutrition helps because it’s:

  • Tailored to meet your specific needs
  • Looking at the food you’re eating, and considering your lifestyle practices, for proper nourishment of your body
  • Easier to follow because the choices you make with your diet and lifestyle are explained by someone who knows your health history and lifestyle practices
